Abstract

Breast milk or mother’s milk is the best source of nutrition recommended for babies from birth to 6 months of age. However, low breast milk production remains a barrier to exclusive breastfeeding, including at RS TK II Pelamonia Makassar. Sauropus androgynus (katuk leaves) is known as a natural ingredient believed to increase breast milk production deu to its active compounds. Identifying how the non-pharmacological implementation of Sauropus Androgynus (katuk leaves) can increase breast milk production in postpartum mothers. This case study used a descriptive method with an observational approach on normal post partum mothers from day 2 to day 7. The intervention involved administering 300 grams of katuk leaf clear soup daily for three consecutive days. The study subjects included two postpartum mothers who met the inclusion criteria: normal postpartum mothers 2–7 days postpartum, primiparous postpartum mothers, postpartum mothers with insufficient breast milk, infants who refuse to breastfeed, and mothers aged 20–35 years. This case study showed a significant increase in breast milk production: Subject I from 9 ml to 78 ml, and Subject II from 13 ml to 86 ml, in addition, there was an improvement in milk output indicators, such as milk leaking, calmer infants, and increased urination frequency. The non-pharmacological use of Sauropus androgynus (katuk leaves) increased breast milk volume in both postpartum subjects. This result suggests that katuk leaves may serve as an effective natural galactagogue. Further research with a larger sample and control group is recommended.

Inclusion criteria: Mothers in active phase 1 labour with moderate to severe pain, mothers who are responsive or in good general condition with vital signs within normal limits, mothers under 35 years of age, primiparas/multiparas, mothers with cephalic presentation. Exclusion criteria: Mothers in active phase I labour with multiple pregnancies, malpresentation, haemorrhage, high-risk pregnancies accompanied by conditions such as pre-eclampsia, heart disease, asthma, premature rupture of membranes, pelvic abnormalities. The results show that both respondents experienced a decrease in pain intensity after applying the Lamaze breathing. The mothers appeared calmer, able to control their breathing, and reduced tension during contractions. The Lamaze breathing technique is effective in helping to reduce labor pain and is worth recommending as a non-pharmacological intervention.

Hypertension is a major non-communicable disease that increasingly affects individuals of productive age and contributes to cardiovascular complications such as stroke and heart failure. This study aimed to examine the association between physical activity, coffee consumption, and hypertension incidence among productive-age adults at the Godong I Community Health Center, Grobogan Regency. Objective is to find the relationship between physical activity and coffee consumption with the incidence of hypertension. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted among 99 respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and blood pressure measurements. Statistical analysis was performed using Spearman’s rank correlation test with a significance level of p<0.05. Physical activity (p=0.001) and coffee consumption (p=0.008) showed significant associations with hypertension incidence. Both physical activity and coffee consumption are significantly associated with hypertension among the productive-age population.
